FRANCIS PAUL ALEXANDER, JR.

BOWIE, MD – With heavy hearts and deep sadness, we share the news of our beloved brother,
uncle, cousin and friend, Francis “Frank” Paul Alexander, Jr.’s peaceful passing, from this earthly
life, on January 29, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. He will be immensely missed and we find
comfort in our memories and knowing that he can see clearly now with the Angels.
Born on November 1, 1960, at Providence Hospital in Washington D.C., Frank was raised in
Northeast D.C. before moving to Bowie, MD (Allen’s Pond), where he spent the remainder of his life.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Francis “Sonny” and Valerie “Tootsie” Alexander,
Sr., his maternal grandparents, John and Mary Turchin, his paternal grandparents, Joseph and
Helen “Skinny” Alexander and his beloved four-legged companion of 15 years, Lance.
Frank is survived by his siblings, Maryann (Mike) Cooper, Edward (Susan) Alexander and
Susie (Ron) Calhoon; the love of his life, Angie; 8 nieces & nephews; and 18 great nieces &
nephews. He also leaves behind many cousins and friends who cherished him deeply.
A proud graduate of Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C., Class of 1980,
Frank began his career as an X-Ray Technician at The Washington Hospital Center, Washington
D.C. He later became an accomplished CT Technologist earning R.T.(R)(CT)(ARRT) credentials
with The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and concluded his career at The
University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore, MD.
Frank was known for his zest for life and his fierce loyalty to his family and friends. A true
Scorpio, he was passionate, determined and always ready to help those in need. His sense of
humor and infectious laugh brought joy to everyone around him. He loved the beach, especially
soaking up the sun and watching sunsets, and he treasured hosting 4th of July Crab Feasts and
celebrating his mom’s birthday with family. Halloween and Christmas were among his favorite
holidays – he loved dressing up for Halloween and took joy in playing Santa for his nieces and
nephews.
An avid sports enthusiast, Frank enjoyed playing soccer in his youth and later volunteered
alongside his brother, Ed, coaching The Bowie Boys Girls Club Youth Soccer League.
He also had a Harley and felt most at home riding to “Grandma in the Mountains” house with Ed.
Frank was a lifelong animal lover as well and especially fond of cats.
In accordance with Frank’s wishes, funeral services will be private. John S. Maykuth, Jr.
Funeral Home, Masontown, PA is assisting the family with cremation and burial arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks, if you wish to honor Frank’s memory, that you consider
planting a tree or having a star named in his honor.
